Little Lord.
Chapter 20 Chapter 20
Jiang Zhuozhuo remembered reading a popular science article before, which said that when the weather gets hot in the summer, peacocks may shed their feathers, just like people take off their clothes when they get hot. When winter comes, the feathers will grow back.
This shows that peacock feathers are a renewable resource, and it is not a problem for them to fall off and grow back in a year. Sometimes they feel that their tail feathers are a little dull, which is not conducive to attracting females, so they will also shed the ugly feathers and wait for new ones to grow!
That’s right, these male peacocks actually do this in order to get a chance to be courted!
There was a report about parrots, which said that a female parrot squatted in a tree hole and was fed by seven male parrots, and took turns to make love with them. However, when experts conducted paternity tests on their offspring, they found that the children of the parrot with the best appearance all belonged to it.
Look, the competition between male birds is so fierce that even if a male who doesn't dress himself up is lucky enough (thanks to his excellent hunting ability) to become the lover of a female bird, he may not have the chance to produce offspring with her.
Through this bird knowledge (obtained from various marketing accounts), Jiang Zhuozhuo is sure of one thing: peacocks definitely shed their feathers! It is completely fine to have a peacock feather painlessly!
She couldn't do such a thing as plucking someone's feathers, but if it was just to collect the feathers that the other person dropped, Jiang Zhuozhuo felt that she could still consider it.
Wilder clearly heard what Jiang Zhuozhuo was mumbling: "..."
You are indeed a little round bird that has not grown up. I thought you wanted to see me spread my feathers, but it turns out you were just coveting my feathers!
Wilder was just about to chat with Jiang Zhuozhuo again when he felt a pair of eyes staring at him from the mast.
He looked up and saw an old woodpecker with an unfriendly look squatting on it, staring at him.
His eyes were even more unfriendly than his face.
Who else could it be if not Old Lu who flies up there to enjoy the sea breeze?
Wilde: .
Lueri used to be indifferent to everyone, so how come he quickly became like an old father protecting his child when he was with Jiang Zhuozhuo?
When I turned around, I saw that the little round bird next to me had laid down on the mat brought by the maid at some point, and was sleeping soundly in the warm winter sunshine.
...I feel a little sleepy after watching it.
Wilde smiled, grabbed the small blanket next to him and covered the little bird with it, looking quite gentle and considerate.
Old Lu continued to stare at Wilder with a death glare.
There was a familiar aura about the male bird, very much like... his mate and his daughter.
It should be difficult for a male bird to pursue a female bird, but Wilder was born in a wealthy family and was known for his extravagant spending, so many female birds were willing to spend the night with him.
Old Lu despised this kind of philandering man. Even though he had a philandering spouse and philandering daughter, his concept was still very traditional, and he always believed that love and marriage should be wholehearted.
When his spouse refused to marry him, he felt like the sky was falling.
The buildings he designed during that period are still an adventure destination for many young people.
The little explorers all said that the atmosphere inside was filled with the smell of despair and death, which was very much to their liking.
In response, Lao Lu said that he didn’t really understand what these young people were thinking.
As she got older, Lao Lu gradually came to terms with it. For a spouse, marriage means being constrained. She didn't like being constrained, so she chose freedom. It's not that they didn't really love each other, but they separated because of their different ideas.
As for his daughter's philandering, oh, can that be called philandering? That's called carefully choosing her future spouse!
Instead of resenting his daughter for breaking up with them, the male birds should reflect on whether they are not good enough and whether they are not good enough to their daughter!
People are so double-standard.
Since he followed Jiang Zhuozhuo to Woye Province and ate so many delicious foods from Jiang Zhuozhuo, he had to be careful about whether these male birds with ulterior motives would take advantage of her young age and coax or deceive her.
There was no way. This little round bird really didn't seem to understand the evil of human nature, and couldn't move among many male birds like his daughter.
She must be on guard against any scumbag who might cheat on her feelings!
Didn’t you see that the Seventh Princess was already such a grown-up person, and yet she was deceived so badly?
Jiang Zhuozhuo didn't think too much about it and just thought that Wilder was a very wealthy investor.
What does she call this? This is called not only earning foreign exchange, but also reaching a preliminary agreement with others to attract investment!

In the evening, Jiang Zhuozhuo ate the chestnut cake as he wished, and paired it with the black tea that was produced in abundance in Liberty City, everything was just right!
What surprised her even more was that Wilde had built a study on the boat, which was filled with the most popular books, newspapers and magazines from the imperial capital.
There were also many books in the study in her castle, but they were all reference books, such as "The Encyclopedia of Imperial Laws" and "Imperial Plant Atlas".
Whenever Maine lectured her, he would quote a few imperial laws, which always seemed to be a hint for her not to commit crimes.
It doesn't make any sense. Is she that kind of person?
People cannot be obsessed with studying every day. Jiang Zhuozhuo still likes to read some popular works. For example, there is a row of "Sun Weekly" on Wilde's bookshelf, which is very suitable for her to read.
Look at the name, it sounds very positive!
The content is also very rich and colorful. The latest hot news is "Why did Knight Heitlinger leave the imperial capital in despair? Revealing the latest and most explosive royal affairs for you."
This content takes up an entire page, and the illustrations above show from every angle how lost and painful this Knight Heitlinger is!
Jiang Zhuozhuo watched with great interest.
This knight with a very long name (too long to be remembered) is very suitable to be a nude model in terms of both his figure and facial features. Even with such a simple drawing and crude printing, it can be seen that his whole body conforms to various golden ratios.
Wilder: ?
This little round bird is so young, why doesn't it read any other books or newspapers, but only reads "The Sun Weekly", a newspaper that is notorious for its fabricated gossip?
Wilde leaned over and saw Jiang Zhuozhuo repeatedly looking at the portrait of Knight Heitlinger.
There was silence.
Perhaps sensing Wilder's gaze, Jiang Zhuozhuo turned around and said to him, "I really want to get to know him..."
Wilde felt a little uncomfortable. It was fine that the girls in the imperial capital liked this guy, but why did this little round bird in front of him, which hadn't even grown all its feathers yet, also fall for him?
He said, "This guy is the best among the Heitlinger family of this generation. Everyone says that he will definitely become the chief knight of the imperial capital in the future."
"Do you know the Heitlinger family?"
Jiang Zhuozhuo shook his head repeatedly.
This name is so long that I can’t remember it at all!
In fact, Maine once tried to explain to her the situations of the various families in the imperial capital. Later, because she would fall asleep after listening for ten minutes every time, she had to temporarily kick this part of the content out of the general education course in the mainland.
Wait until there is a real need and she is willing to listen before telling you.
Anyway, they won’t be returning to the imperial capital for a while.
Wilder said: "The Heitlinger family is a family with thousands of years of history. Most of their young people are extremely talented. Any one of them is a child of destiny admired by everyone."
"During the heyday of the Heitlinger family, not only was the chief knight of the royal family from their family, but even the chiefs of the four guards of the imperial capital were from their family." "In history, there were two emperors from their family, and a prophet once predicted that guy would also marry a princess--"
Jiang Zhuozhuo nodded and understood.
To put it bluntly, this is a powerful family of in-laws who have been trusted by the royal family for thousands of years, and the security of the imperial capital can be safely entrusted to them.
Jiang Zhuozhuo curiously asked: "Were the two emperors in history close in age? They wouldn't be close relatives getting married, right?"
"Although the union of two strong families may produce better children, if these two families always get married, they may inherit the hidden defects of both parties!"
Wilder: ?
What's wrong with this little round bird? Why is she focusing on something so strange?!
Wilder recalled the general history he had learned and said, "It's quite far away, and the Heitlinger family is very large. Even if they all have the last name Heitlinger, their relationship may not be very close."
According to the characteristics of their bird tribe, no matter which tribe the female bird mates with, the race of the bird chicks born will follow the mother's tribe.
They usually choose their spouse based on some excellent qualities in the other person and want to give their children the same talents.
Therefore, the Heitlinger family still combines many excellent characteristics.
Of course, occasionally there are cases like what Jiang Zhuozhuo said, where the child just happens to inherit the defects of both parents...
For such children, parents usually raise them in a muddled way and then kick them out to live on their own: You are an adult now, it’s time to be responsible for your own life!
Some wealthy families will also give these children some of their assets and then provide them with a group of talented people who can help them manage the business.
The utmost benevolence!
Sounds familiar, right?
That’s right, this is how Jiang Zhuozhuo was treated!
Wilder said, "Aren't you curious about who this princess in the prophecy is?"
Jiang Zhuozhuo looked at Wilde with a look that said "Are you a fool?" and raised the Sun Weekly in his hand towards him.
The above article describes the gossips about this genius knight and the eighth princess in such great lengths, does she need to guess? !
Wilder raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "The prophet only said that he would marry the princess who was born in the same year as him, but have you forgotten? There are more than one princess who was born in the same year as him."
Jiang Zhuozhuo was stunned.
That's right, she and the Eighth Princess were born in the same year, but one at the beginning of the year and the other at the end.
So her much-heralded sister was eighth, and she was ninth.
It's just that after she broke out of the shell, she just kept eating and sleeping in the form of a baby bird that couldn't transform into a human. She was just a stupid bird that couldn't perceive anything in the outside world.
Her eighth sister has already become a popular candidate for heir to the throne, but she still knows nothing!
Wilder said, "How about it? Do you want me to introduce this guy to you when I have the chance? Maybe you and he are destined to be together."
Jiang Zhuozhuo said: "He has a bright future, why would he come to us?"
Although she didn't want to use her brain, she didn't think that the conditions here were enough to attract such an extraordinary talent.
Using the honey trap to say "we are meant to be a couple" as Wilder said?
Do you want to first see clearly whether she is a beauty or she is a beauty?
In their bird tribe, males are generally more beautiful, okay?
Wilder said, "Didn't you just say you wanted to meet this guy?"
Jiang Zhuozhuo said, "You started introducing the Heitlinger family before I finished talking. What I meant was that I really wanted to meet this artist from the Sun Weekly. She is so good at drawing human bodies. She can make a portrait come alive with just a few strokes."
"If I have the chance to go to the imperial capital, I will definitely visit her!"
Wilde: ?????
You've been looking at it for so long, and what you're thinking in your heart is that the painter is really amazing?
It really is a baby bird whose feathers haven’t even grown fully yet!
Wilder recommended several picture books to Jiang Zhuozhuo, meaning that he wanted her to have something good to eat.
"Who would choose to work for a third-rate tabloid like the Sun Weekly if they are really talented? They should go to Pravda anyway."
Ding!
Captured the keyword "Pravda"!
Jiang Zhuozhuo couldn't help but smile.
Wilder glanced at her and asked, "What's that expression on your face?"
Jiang Zhuozhuo said: "No, I just suddenly thought of something funny."
For example, there are some very wicked Soviet jokes.
Pravda is a frequent visitor. For example, there is a joke like this: Alexander, Caesar, and Napoleon were invited to participate in the Red Square parade. Alexander said with emotion: "If I had Soviet tanks, I would be invincible!" Caesar said: "If I had Soviet planes, I would conquer the world!" Napoleon said: "If I had Pravda, the world would not know about Waterloo now!"
This shows what kind of reputation Pravda had at the time.
Point and point.jpg
I wonder what kind of newspaper Pravda is here.
With such curiosity in mind, Jiang Zhuozhuo hurried to get a copy of the latest edition of Pravda and flipped through it. He was shocked to find that it was full of news about political and business trends as well as various celebrity articles and biographies.
The characters in the portraits above all sit upright like their ID photos, and absolutely do not contain any inappropriate elements.
Jiang Zhuozhuo:.
It does not suit the tastes of the general public at all!
I, Jiang Zhuozhuo, on behalf of the general public, declare that we don’t want to see you!
Wilder watched Jiang Zhuozhuo open a few pages of Pravda, glance at them casually, and then return to the arms of Sun Weekly.
...They don’t hide their dislike for Pravda at all!
